Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) was identified in green red-rimmed ringspots on spider lily (Hymenocallis spp.) leaves in Brisbane, Australia. Tospovirus-like particles were seen in thin sections of those lesions. RT-PCR using tospovirus-specific primers amplified a DNA fragment whose sequence matched TSWV S RNA. The virus caused symptoms in Nicotiana benthamiana following mechanical transmission and was confirmed as TSWV by RT-PCR.
